I Do Not See How A Man

In Science One Tries To Tell People, In Such A Way As To Be Understood By Everyone, Something That No One Ever Knew Before. But In Poetry, It Is The Exact Opposite.

The Underlying Physical Laws Necessary For The Mathematical Theory Of A Large Part Of Physics And The Whole Of Chemistry Are Thus Completely Known, And The Difficulty Is Only That The Exact Application Of These Laws Leads To Equations Much Too Complicated To Be Soluble. It Therefore Becomes Desirable That Approximate Practical Methods Of Applying Quantum Mechanics Should Be Developed, Which Can Lead To An Explanation Of The Main Features Of Complex Atomic Systems Without Too Much Computation.

A Physical Law Must Possess Mathematical Beauty.

The Aim Of Science Is To Make Difficult Things Understandable In A Simpler Way; The Aim Of Poetry Is To State Simple Things In An Incomprehensible Way. The Two Are Incompatible.

The Measure Of Greatness In A Scientific Idea Is The Extent To Which It Stimulates Thought And Opens Up New Lines Of Research.
